12/ But there is one thing that I cannot skip, or long forget. It confronts me every time I unlock my driveway gate and venture off my wooded acreage to get groceries, or sit in a courtroom full of coughing people to satisfy a jury summons.

It’s the ongoing repeated mass infection of the populace by a virus that causes brain damage.

13/ When I step into a store, I am wearing an #N95 respirator designed to block invisible airborne particles on which this malevolent little chunk of RNA otherwise floats from a sick person’s nose to the nose of another host. At this point, after six fucking years of this, my various respirators have undoubtedly intercepted hundreds of #SARS_CoV2 virions. None have infected me.

14/ I do this because I know better. I’ve read the academic papers on what this virus is doing, and have responded in a logical manner, unlike most of the authors of those papers taking unmasked selfies at their conferences and speeches.

But, almost without exception, people either don’t know better or simply cannot act like they do. And it’s accelerating collapse.

15/ You cannot reduce the collective intelligence, empathy, and executive functioning of an entire species without that species being adversely impacted.

That really should be enough. There is so much more, about the immune system damage that AJ Leonardi predicted years ago to much scorn, about the kids with cancer. But mass brain damage really ought to have been enough.

It is, at least, for this thread. //
